Appendix 1
Supplementary 2: Basic skills awards achieved in
prisons
Breakdown of awards by level:
The number of awards achieved in each subject has
only been recorded reliably since April 2004:
These figures are the number of qualifications achieved
(not the number of people who achieved them). Not all of these
count towards the PSA Skills for Life Target, which does not include
entry levels 1 and 2 or those achieved in Wales and counts the
number of people rather then qualifications.
Achievements that count towards basic skills targets
are given below. These have been accredited by the Qualifications
and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and approved by the Secretary of
State. These qualifications are mapped to the national standards
for literacy and numeracy and will replace all existing awarding
body qualifications in Basic Skills.
Qualifications in ESOL also contribute to targets.
National qualifications will be available from 2005.
